lmao. I've got the message on three of my accounts so far, including one that I haven't used in years except to purge my data. Anyone who takes their offer is a fool: they're going to use those guys to claim there's demand before they all take the money and run far, far away.

Anyone know what wsb is saying?

After many years apart, we shall soon be reunited!

Are dht and pex enabled?

Good to see you, sir! Have you seen Porthos yet in your travels?

I'm a very old Musketeer.

They said years ago that they only kept one previous version, which is why everyone overwrote and then deleted their stuff.

It's possible that reddit changed that, but honestly? That requires a level of foresight that I believe is entirely beyond spez. He didn't foresee AI products, he literally paid all the bandwidth for them to harvest the data, he didn't foresee changes to API pricing, he didn't foresee the protests, how long they'd last, or how many people just walked away.

Hell, in the previous big "closed subs" protest they'd never even considered a moderator rebellion: once the mods took the subs private, the admins were accidentally locked out as well - they had to negotiate to get them re-opened while they worked on backdoor changes that wouldn't break reddit.

I just don't see them having the foresight to add in preservation code, nor to allocate the database and storage space to keep up with it. I think if you overwrote and then deleted your stuff, reddit doesn't have it anymore. Of course, it's still out there, in Google's cache and the internet archive and all the other snapshots she preservation schemes and the data already harvested for the various AIs, but at least it's no longer indeed reddit's control, and they won't be able to profit from it.

Spez has spent his entire time as CEO chasing the latest tech shiny - reddit crypto, reddit NFTs, reddit video a la TikTok. And he's always managed to do it after the craze has started to peak. So now he's chasing the latest shiny, reddit AI, starting a full year after everyone else already released their products.

He's late yet again, and he's proven repeatedly that's he's failed to understand reddit's greatest strengths and value. This "reddit AI content" and the IPO is his last chance to get some value out of reddit, and his last chance to make money for nothing because no one is going to hire him in a leadership role ever again. I just wonder if he's smart enough to understand that, or whether he's just hoping to get enough money to fully build out and stock his personal doomsday bunker.

sigh. Of course they are ...

Sorry to re-direct you to ~~hellsite~~ rexxit, but there's this one guy who always posts the same time when these things are posted on the old place: Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson are Michael Jackson's real parents. I don't know that he's convinced me, but it's an interesting theory.

Gray sent this story to Instagram after it aired and they removed the account for violating the app’s terms of service.

Well, thank goodness making a second account is so hard ...

... ... The capitalization of 'Boots' in the title made me think this was some variation based on the UK health stores.

Oh, I didn't think you were! It's just I know that with wild animals, they'll kill them if they eat humans, and I've known people who are squicked out by the idea of having a pet that might've eaten someone. And I wanted to (a) let my friends know it was okay with me and (b) feel out their opinions in case someone would be squicked out if it happened. I know that is incredibly unlikely to ever happen, but it is a possibility and I wanted to account for that in whatever arrangements I set up for the cats.
